How faithful is your star sign?

• Capricorns crowned top cheating star sign
• Sagittarius’ are the most faithful
• 14% of adulterers are cheating on a Leo
• Data released by the UK’s top extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com

Could cheating be written in the stars? IllicitEncounters.com analysed data of 180,000 of its married members and found that the zodiac may have a lot to say about infidelity.

Capricorns topped the charts with 16% of cheaters belonging to this star sign, closely followed by Libra’s with 13%.

Want your partner to remain faithful? Dating a Sagittarius secures monogamy with only 4% of archers currently cheating on their partner.

Other star signs less likely to cheat are Aquarius (5%) and Pieces (5%)

2000 members were also asked what star sign their spouse was, and a phenomenal 14% reported that their married to a Leo.

Natasha a Capricorn currently using the site said “I’d had it up to here with my husband last year. You see, my birthday is on the 24th of December, and my husband plans me a rubbish – buy one get one free Christmas slash birthday gift – every, single, year! What a way to make you feel appreciated.

I decided enough was enough, and as an extra special birthday treat to myself – I decided to have an affair. Heck, best decision I’ve ever made, and guess what, the other guy I’m seeing has already promised me a birthday out of this world, and that’s alongside my Christmas present. For once I’m looking forward to the winter break.”

Jennifer a Libra on the site who is currently having an affair said “My husband is a Leo. In many ways he’s the perfect partner, father and provider. He’s always working hard, he’s great with the kids and he does put in effort into our relationship. Having said that, he drives me completely and utterly insane half the time, he’s a perfectionist, can’t let things go and often obsesses. Sometimes it’s nice to just escape from him, away from everything serious and just let my hair down and have fun.”

Jessica spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com adds “Capricorns are earth signs who are extremely practical. When a Capricorn is in a marriage that is not making them entirely happy their solution is to go seek that happiness elsewhere. Being practical, Capricorns are more than capable of compartmentalising their affair and are great at keeping secrets and are therefore unlikely to get caught cheating.

Sagittarius’ belong to the fire element, and they are fiercely independent, which may come as a shock that so few Sagittarius’ are unfaithful. Although known to be adventures, risky and sociable, once a Sagittarius makes a commitment, they stick to it. A Sagittarius is always on the search for sex, love and relationships, however they are more inclined to escape an unhappy marriage, than look for some extra-marital fun; multi-dating is not their forte.

Why are Leo’s everywhere being cheated on – isn’t it obvious? Leo’s are passionate star signs, very competitive and ambitious, and naturally extremely stubborn. When your partner always wants to get their own way, it’s only natural that you need to get yours too, elsewhere.”

Cheaters less likely to forgive an affair

•         8 out of 10 adulterers would divorce their partner if they discovered their partner was also cheating
•         Over half of adulterers would rather be lied to about their partners infidelity
•          More people agree watching pornography is worse than flirting
•          Study released by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s leading dating website for married people

2000 members on extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com were polled on whether they would forgive their partners infidelity, as it turns out a whopping 8 out of 10 spouses agree they would leave their partners upon discovery of their indiscretions.

The results also indicated that cheaters would prefer not to know if they are also being cheated on, with 58% agreeing they’d much rather be left in the dark. Suggesting that cheating is OK if it’s kept under wraps.

100% of those surveyed affirmed that physical intimacy is considered being unfaithful, as well as cyber cheating (94%)

More members agreed that watching pornography is to be considered unfaithful (21%) compared to only 14% agreeing that flirting is unfaithful.

Erica a member on IllicitEncounters.com said “I’m having an affair for attention; my husband of 14 years now genuinely believes quality time together is watching the telly on a Saturday night. I love my husband and would never leave him but when your husband treats you with indifference what more can you do? I could literally walk into the room naked and he wouldn’t notice.  So yes, if I found out my husband’s lack of attention towards me was being bestowed upon a mistress, I would certainly up and leave”

Olivia another female member using the site said “I’d rather he was having an affair, that I never found out about. What I have outside of my marriage is just a bit of fun and excitement and I’m careful to keep it separate, I don’t want to break up my marriage. Some may call it double standards, but if he was out sleeping with other women and foolish enough to get caught – I’d feel more disrespected that he couldn’t keep it a secret. Have a little flirt if you have to – just be discrete about it.’

Jessica Leoni, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said “It takes a lot to reach that point of realisation that you require more from life than your marriage is capable of providing.

Many people find solace and happiness in extra-marital relationships, but fundamentally treat it as a secret escape, separate from the day-to-day grind of their full time lives. Which comes as no surprise as to why cheaters would prefer not to find out that their other half was also having an affair, c’est la vie! If it’s kept secret it can’t hurt anybody.

What is a little shocking is that so many adulterers would file for divorce if they found out their partner was cheating, it seems the discovery is more painful than the act itself though – so we always recommend hiding your tracks.

On the plus side, flirting is okay! For banter’s sake.”
